HOW TO PRONOUNCE  WORDS WITH SILENT ' B' 

 Have you ever wondered why a letter or more in some words are omitted during pronunciation? That' s because they are silent letters!

 Silent letters are letters that you can' t hear when you say the words but that are there when you write them. At least over 60% of words in English have silent letters.

Sometimes these letters are silent in some words: b, c, d, e, gh, h, l, n, p, ph, s, t, u and w.

The letter' b  ' is usually silent when it comes after the letter ' m' and before the letter 't' . Here are some examples:

âž¡ COMB = COM

âž¡ LAMB= LAM

âž¡ TOMB= TOM

âž¡ DUMB= DUM

âž¡ BOMB= BOM

âž¡ LIMB= LIM

âž¡ CLIMB= CLIM

âž¡ THUMB= THUM

âž¡ DOUBT= DOUT

âž¡ DEBT= DET

âž¡ DEBTOR= DETOR 

âž¡ SUBTLE= SUTLE

Start practising right away and know that if you keep trying, fluent you will become.
